Paper 2

2.4 Assignment: Values and Attitudes Fundamental ingredients for achieving job satisfaction and organizational commitment begin with personal and corporate values and attitudes. Out of these values and attitudes come the desire for involvement on the part of employees, and aligning personal and organizational goals. Consideration of the components of attitude, whether affective, cognitive, or behavioral components, can assist managers and leaders when it is part of their responsibility to make things happen, especially in times of personal and organizational stress.

Introduction
On this reflection paper, the topics I choose were the “Baptism of the Holy Spirit” and the “Rapture”. I choose these topics because they both bring topics of debate with them. There are many different views on these two topics and I will try to shed some light on them. Through Biblical research and theological definitions, we will try to discover the purpose and meanings of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the Rapture.
The first topic of discussion is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. This topic stirs up much debate in the denominational realms of the church. There are many different views and standpoints on this topic. John 1:33 states that when John the Baptist, after witnessing the descent of the Holy Spirit as a dove at the baptism of Jesus, recorded these words: “He that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizes with the Holy Ghost”. Later Jesus promised His disciples, “Ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence” (Acts 1:5). On the day of Pentecost, the disciples had a number of experiences involving the Holy Spirit, including the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The disciples spoke in tongues to address the gospel of Christ to many different nations in attendance of Pentecost. This event was the start of the church and its spread of the gospel of Christ to all nations. Many Christians today have......

1. Analyze the personality and temperament of Joseph Thomas.
From what I gather, Joseph Thomas is a weak leader. He could not manage his people well. He have great ideas and insights but could not see them through. Although he could see errors early on, he did not bring the attention of the people he can see fault in. He have ideas that would have ensured the redesigning would not be needed in the first place, but he chose to stay quiet. Joseph Thomas hesitates too much on taking a definitive action. He has lots of plans and ideas, and he has insights of what is going wrong, but he did not act as he should. He always think or complain about lack of resources as well, even without confirming with the boss, he was already sure that the idea of redesigning would be shoot down because of the lack in resources. He also believe that he did not have good men under him. The truth is, any leader does not have enough resources, but what differentiates a good leader from a weak one is that the good leader figure out how to get the job done properly with what they have. Lastly, Joseph Thomas does not take responsibility. He blamed everyone except himself.

...types of organizational structures are functional and divisional structures.
1. Definitions
o Functional organizational structure consists of an executive officer and his staff, along with functional managers and their respective departments, such as: sales, accounting, manufacturing, service, delivery and others.
In a divisional organizational structure, various departments are grouped in order to produce a given product or service. There are three types of divisional structures: product structures, geographic structures and customer structures.
2. Strengths
o Functional structure works best for organizations that only produce a few products. One of its main advantages is that employees within functional departments are highly specialized and thus are very skilled and knowledgeable. Another advantage is that with functional structure, it's easy to accomplish functional goals specific to certain departments, such as: reach $2 million in sales, increase production speed by 5 percent, or allocate resources more effectively.
The main strength of the divisional structure is that it is very adaptable to fast changes and to differences between products, geographic locations or customers. Also, it involves collaboration between various functions, which leads to innovation.
3. Weaknesses
o There are two main weaknesses in the functional organizational structure: it responds very slowly to change, and it may take too long for decisions to be made because of the hierarchy of......

...education opportunities.
The poem “Them for English B” argues that black people suffer from terrible education environment. The poem “Theme for English B”, from a character of a black student, states that a white professor did not respect a black student. The black student lives in Harlem where mostly black people live. Most of black students cannot access better education. The black student is only one black student in the class. He feels that the professor discriminates against him because the professor is not patient to talk with him. “The instructor said, Go home and write a page tonight. And let that page come out of you” (ln.1). Commonly, when a professor usually assigns a paper, he or she will give some guide to student no just command a student to write a paper. The white professor does not give him any guideline and has negative attitude to speak to the black student so the black student feels unfair and uncomfortable. It is because he never has equal treatment as other students who may get some guide or help from professor. Moreover, the Student also asks himself “so will my page be colored that I write?”(ln.22)In fact, he criticizes the professor should not judge a student by skin color and he satires the professor will lose studying resources from African Americans. Academic writing should not limit under race. Moreover, American resources and chances also should not be limited to be used by white. The black student is confident because he thinks......

When we want to discuss why do exchange rates have an effect on the trade balance, we need to figure out what is the trade balance and exchange rate first. According to my knowledge, the trade balance refers to the value of all the goods and services we sell to other countries (exports) minus the value of all the goods and services we buy from foreigners (imports). There are three results of the trade balance : trade surplus, trade deficit and trade even. The exchange rate refers that between two currencies what is the rate at which one currency will be exchanged for another.
In m opinion, the currency is just like any other commodity; its price will go up and down depends on supply and demand. The supply is decided by the government's printing press. The supply is not always constant , governments can always print more money, or buy more bonds in return for returning more dollars into the economy, then demand is the most important factor which is mainly depends on the customers in that country. In all markets, currency is affected by its supply and demand. The supply and demand for a given currency also results in changes to its value. The more foreign countries want to hold a certain currency, the more it is worth, and the less they want it, the less it is worth. There are many factors that affect demand for a currency, such as interest......

The Jane, CPA Dilemma
Independence is perhaps one of the most important attributes of the public accountant. Before pursuing a course of action to resolve ethical dilemmas, a CPA may want to consult with legal counsel, applicable professional bodies, and appropriate firm or employer personnel. The AICPA[1] provides an ethics hotline to assist members in this and other ethics issues. Going through the case, one can see that there are a few breaches of some accounting rules and there is a dilemma about what exactly Jane’s responsibilities are and what she should do in this situation. What are Jane’s responsibilities? What are the issues in the case?
There is the question of ethics and responsibilities both as a member of the board of directors and also as a CPA. Should Jane disclose to the board about the financial position of her client? Or should she maintain client confidentiality and allow the bank to lend money to her client knowing her client is on the brink of bankruptcy? In my opinion, there was a breach of the ethics and responsibilities on the part of Jane as a CPA. In the following paragraphs, I will analyze the case and suggest what Jane should do or should have done.
To begin with, as a CPA, Jane is supposed to abide......

...thirteen, Felix entered a phase of composing in which he mastered counterpoint and classical forms of music, especially in sonata form (Grove Dictionary 135-136).
In November of 1821, Zelter took Felix to Weimar to meet his friend Goethe. Between 1821 and 1830, Felix visited Goethe five more times. During one of these visits, Felix wrote home: “Every afternoon Goethe opens the piano with these words, ‘I have not heard you at all today, so you must make a little noise for me.'” Goethe's philosophical emphasis on the dynamic and productive aspects of art provided an enriching experience for Felix, while Felix increased Goethe's understanding of the music of the Classical period (Harris 1369).

Reflection Paper
1. Introduction:
This reflection paper that I am writing has given me pause as I had thought about the two topics that I would like to discuss. I have gained a better understanding about many of the topics, but I have chosen to write about Prayer and Sin Nature. Man is naturally a sinner and as we sin, we can use prayer to ask God for forgiveness. I believe these two topics relate to each other in so many ways that they would flow together easily as I write about them. The first topic I would like to discuss is Prayer.
2. Part One: Prayer
The theological definition of prayer can be summarized as a conversation with God. Prayer may be oral or mental, occasional or constant, and informal or formal (Easton’s Bible Dictionary, Bible Gateway.com). The Bible gives a lot of leeway when it comes to how we pray or what we say to God in our prayers. The Biblical Foundation can be defined by how many times it is mentioned throughout the Bible and there are some very powerful examples of prayer represented. Samson prayed to God and God showed him a well to quench his burning thirst, and lived on to judge Israel (NKJV, Judges 15:18-20). Matthew: 6 gave us the Lord’s Prayer as a prayer to model ours after and give us a good foundation as to how to pray correctly. Practical application just means that prayer is a communication tool Christians use to......

I. Introduction
Throughout this entire course, I have definitely received a better understanding of Scripture. Not only has my faith strengthened, God has also been working a miracle in my life. In this particular essay, my goal is to discuss the effects of prayer, as well as reconciliation.
II. Part One
a. Theological Definition
The theological definition of prayer, according to the Web Bible Encyclopedia is “a conversation with God; the intercourse of the soul with God, not in contemplation or mediation, but in direct address to him”.
b. Biblical Foundation
The words pray or prayer is mentioned in the Old and New Testament a total of 313 times. In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 God even states, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
c. Practical Application
Since I became a believer in 2007, I constantly have been trying to have a better prayer life. However, in November 2012, my prayer life became number one in my life. Without going into too much detail, I began dating a guy whom my parents did not approve of. During this time, when my parents’ relationship with me was shattered, God began to give me strength to seek Him with my decision as to whether or not to continue seeing this young man. I sought after not man’s wisdom, but God’s alone and over a year’s time, God began to......

...What is marriage? The dictionary says that marriage is the formal union of a man and a
woman, which is recognized by law.1 So now that we know what the definition of marriage
means, what is the biblical teaching on marriage? In the book of Genesis, God made woman out
of man because He saw that man was lonely and that was not good. God did this because He
wanted man to not be alone, so God made a helper for man. He created her to come alongside
man and be united as one. L.I. Granberg and J.R. Root said, “God instituted marriage so that men
and women might complete one another and share in His creative work through the procreation
of children.”2
When does the man and woman become married according to the Bible? The Bible does
not really say when a couple is married, but there are some viewpoints. These viewpoints are
intercourse and having a wedding ceremony. The Bible does say that a couple is married once the
couple has sexual intercourse. God considers any man and woman having sex to be married.3 By
this, they are considered one. People who believe this viewpoint use 1 Corinthians 6:16, which
says, “Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For,
as it is written, ‘The two will become one flesh.’” You may say, “what about people who are
unmarried and are having sex? When this happens it is called fornication. Fornication is a form
of sexual immorality and God does not approve of this. In 1 Thessalonians 4:3, states,......

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” (John 14:6, NIV)
Summary
From the very first time man sinned in Eden, the question of deception, truth, and lies has been a difficult one. Our enemy, satan, is the father of lies. Jesus Himself said to the Jews, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8:44, NIV) Jesus is the truth; satan is the deceiver. The question remains, who is our real father? We want our answer to be Jesus, and once we receive Him as Lord and Savior our salvation is sealed, and our names are written in the Book of Life, yet who’s character do we reflect? It seems a lie can often be excused if it is said with good intentions. However, lying is never excused or encouraged in the Bible, on the contrary, many are the warnings against it including the ninth commandment which exhorts us to never “give false testimony”. (Exodus 20:16, NIV). Although not an easy task in this fallen world, it should be a Christian’s desire to be more like Jesus, and “speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ”. (Ephesians 4:15, NIV).

How could administrative, technical, and physical controls introduce a false sense of security?
Administrative, Technical, and Physical controls introduce a false sense of security by the indication of what we use to safeguard delicate data and protect individuals’ privacy. Any complex system is prone to inherit a false sense of security. Having a false sense of security is widespread among individuals who own and operate a personal computer within their homes. Nothing is ever really secured. It would be safe to say that something is secured within the terms of information security. [ (Nahn, 2008) ] The idea of purchasing a virus protection suggests that all personal......
